@starbreaker Yes... so that's why we should make sure people and computers are friendly with each other! We can only get there by getting user / computing freedom in the hands of everyone!

@grainloom I feel like you can say that about anything that has a good side to it though because humanity is imperfect...

anyway, all the more reason to use that as motivation to pull out more of the good!

@jamey "I hate computers I have just built my entire life around them and like to think about them all the time"?

@cwebber That's sincerely my position on this matter, more or less 😅

"It's impossible to do math and love it at the same time." — Computers aren't much different, IMO.

@amiloradovsky @jamey I do computers all day long and I love computer'ing. It's a lot of the side stuff attached with computer'ing that stresses me out. But when I actually get the time to really spend time exploring computing itself? Those are some of my happiest moments in life.

@cwebber
The "side stuff" is the "industry's de facto standards" and the like, I suppose. What restricts the pure curiosity and attempts to channel the energy into areas considered more important by someone else.
